The popular author of the Honor Harrington series tells the tale of Bahzell, a hsradani who has violated a hostage bond and now must deal with a vengeful prince and a price on his head. He doesnt want to mess with anyone elses problems, let alone the War Gods. So how does he end up a thousand leagues from home? Its all the War Gods fault. Bahzell is no knight in shining armor, and besides he has too many problems of his own to be messing with anybody elses problems -- let alone the War Gods. Unfortunately, the War God has other ideas. . . .
